Sponsored by "Promote Kimmswick Merchants Association"

We have a dream for the city of Kimmswick, and we would like to share it with you!
We envision a memorial built in the town to honor our Veterans. This would be a tranquil place where people could come
to relax and view the beauty of this site.
The memorial would consist of a taller wall at the back of the site, and would be around 6 to 7 feet tall. The wall would probably travel the entire width of the memorial. Immediately in front of the wall would be a walkway made out of bricks. These bricks would be for sale, and would allow you to honor a person of your choice. Their name would be sandblasted in the brick for all to see.
(Please see below to view sample.)

We are pleased to announce that local artist, (and master-craftsman!),
Rob Chance has joined our effort. Rob brings a lot to the table with his talents and skills.
Rob has had considerable experience in doing this type of work, and as you can see
from the picture above, he certainly excels in this type of work.

On Monday Feb. 26th, several Promote Kimmswick Merchant Association members meet with
Mrs. Laura Ward, Mrs. Abby Pikul and Mr. Bryan Pruett from the
"National Art Honor Society WHS"
To the merchants surprise they were presented with a rough draft of what the National Art Honor Society envision the memorial to be.

The Promote Kimmswick Merchants Association will present this plan to its members at their next meeting for approval.

March 8, 2007

Promote Kimmswick Merchants Association held their monthly meeting.
All the members were present and excited to hear about the progress of the memorial.
"National Art Honor Society WHS" was there to present the group with the 3D project they did.
It was voted unanimously to accept the proposal for the design.

Abby Pikul (Teacher), Bryan Pruett (NAHS), Mitchell Pilla (NAHS), Samantha Brda (NAHS), Ronald Tolie (NAHS) and Laura Ward (Teacher)
We can't thank these people enough for the wonderful job they did for our memorial.

The bricks from St. Joseph's Church will be delivered to Mr. Ed's Ozark Wood Chop 6062 Front Street., and
Bunny Patch 217 Market St. The bricks will be cleaned to use in the memorial.
The salvaged bricks could be used for walls and or pedestals.

We will be looking for a lot of volunteers to do different things.
